Q. Say you buy a tablet with Android 2.3, will it update automatically, or can you initiate it?
Is it free? What do you have to do? A friend's Kindle automatically updated to 4.1, but that doesn't mean cheaper tablets can do it.
Also, what is the email address for Androids CS people, to answer questions?
Binary..? What do you mean?

Where do you get the bin files from?
A. Not automatically no. Most tablets can be reflashed but getting an appropriate binary is the biggest problem, try the wrong one and you could brick it.
Usually you copy the bin files to an SD card and then reboot the system, it will detect the upgrade and automatically reload itself.
EDIT - SIMPLIFICATION
you can download the android source code and recompile it to create your own binaries to flash your device, however a lot of the tablet support sites will have prebuild bin files for specific models of tablet, slatedroid are pretty good.

Will the original Kindle Fire get the updated UI that the new $159 kindle fire will be getting?
Q. All the new kindle fires are getting an updated system, but will the original fire get an updated UI? From the looks of it on their website, it looks a lot nicer than the one they currently have. Will they updated or is the processor not big enough?
A. Up to now, it's no. There isn't any update for Kindle Fire UI yet. There's a discussion on Amazon about this here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-forum/kindle/?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdThread=Tx10E19YDUWTI36&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=kndfjh-20
I think if more users complain, Amazon may change their way.

A. All Kindles are from Amazon company.
There are many different types of Kindle ereaders. The have basic ones which came out earlier and then they keep getting updated and better as other technology advances and they add functions so you can have just a device that is an ereader and used just for reading all the way up to a tablet that is like a minicomputer that you also can read on and do many other things.
